1 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Medical Center 921 Northeast 13th Street Oklahoma City, OK /136 Dear Veteran: In mid-1978, the Department of Veteran Affairs set up a Registry of Vietnam Veterans due to potential health concerns following exposure to chemical herbicides. As part of the Registry process, a medical examination is offered at many VA health care facilities. The examination provides the participating veteran with an opportunity to receive a complete health evaluation and answers to questions concerning the current state of knowledge regarding the possible relationship between herbicide exposure and subsequent health problems. No special Agent Orange test are offered since there is no test to show if a veteran s medical problem was caused by Agent Orange or other herbicides used in Vietnam. Please complete the attached questionnaire and the enclosed EZ Application. Please return the completed forms along with a copy of your DD-214(s) or other discharge papers to the! VA MEDICAL CENTER! 921 NE 13TH STREET! OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73104! ATTN:! 136/SHELIA RAY Your application will be processed and you will be scheduled for a medical evaluation at this Medical Center. If you have any questions, please call me at (405) This initial evaluation will be at no cost to you. Whether you are entitled to further cost-free treatment or will be responsible for partial co-payment will be determined by your income and other factors unless the VA Regional Office determines that your health problems are serviced connected. Please note that this examination does not constitute a formal claim for VA benefits. If you wish to file a claim for service connection of a medical disability related to your military service, please contact a Veterans Benefit Counselor at ( ) or a Veteran s Service Organization. Sincerely, SHELIA RAY Veterans Environmental Coordinator
